Innovative Rail Technologies Cross-Town Rail Line: Final Report
Northern Center City, home to many cultural attractions and educational institutions, has also become a growing IT center. With increasing numbers of residents, students, commuters, workers, and tourists in the area, there is an obvious need for additional mass transportation. Through an extensive revitalization project, Innovative Rail Technologies (IRT) proposed to reconstruct portions of an abandoned Reading Railroad line, which provided much of the industrial and passenger transit into and o
Nanotubes Synthesis Using Alumina Template (a4)
Free standing carbon nanotubes about 300 nm in diameter and lengths 5-60 micrometers were obtained by pyrolyzing ethylene within alumina membranes.,National Science Foundation CAREER Award CHE-9875855; National Science Foundation NIRT CTS-0210579
Towards a targeted surfactant stabilized ultrasound contrast agent
Gas-filled microbubbles are highly effective when used as ultrasound contrast agents due to the large difference in acoustic impedance between the gas in the bubble and the surrounding blood. The surfactant-based contrast agent ST68 (Span 60, Tween 80) developed in our laboratory (US Patent # 5, 352, 436) and filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), was modified in an attempt to make the agent target specific. Modifications to the agent were done by incorporation an anchor molecule, phosphatidylet
Novel associated PVA/PVP hydrogels for nucleus pulposus replacement
Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine is marked by a dehydration of theintervertebral disc and loss of biomechanical function of the spinal unit. Since thecurrent surgical procedures are ineffective in restoring natural biomechanical functionback to the diseased disc, researchers have looked to replace the intervertebral disc.These designs are flawed in that they either donâ t restore natural movement back to thespinal unit, require surgeries that are highly invasive, or they further p
Pet Rescue
In this Design Challenge activity students will explore how structure relates to function as they design devices to save Fido.
Explore Quadratics
In this activity, students can select values for quadratic function coefficients, plot and explore multiple functions.
Photoelectric Effect Virtual Lab
The Photoelectric Effect Virtual Lab was designed with the intent that students and teachers might explore one of the most important, non-classical, behaviors of light - the photoelectric effect. The ability of light, under the right conditions, to liberate electrons from the surface of metals, was one of the most profound mysteries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this Virtual Lab, students will graphically explore the behavior of light with metals.
AlgTop13: More applications of winding numbers
We define the degree of a function from the circle to the circle, and use that to show that there is no retraction from the disk to the circle, the Brouwer fixed point theorem, and a Lemma of Borsuk.
This is the 13th lecture of this beginner's course in Algebraic Topology, given by Assoc Prof N J Wildberger at UNSW.
Logiciels de construction de cartes de connaissances: Des outils pour apprendre
This article examines the possible uses of concept mapping software in a university or continuing education context. Concept mapping applications allow the student to graphically represent compiled information as a network of nodes and vectors. The article looks at several applications that may be used to make different kinds of maps, but mainly reviews teaching strategies that incorporate these tools as well as providing a number of planning pointers. It also summarizes the main advantages and
Improving Your Commute
Road traffic is a challenging societal problem, and with the increasing crowding of areas in and around cities, it is only becoming worse. With the proliferation of wireless connectivity, smartphones (think cheap embedded computers), it is now possible to continuously monitor urban areas using mobile sensors carried by people

Uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
The aim of this material is to introduce the student to two notions of convergence for sequences of real-valued functions. The notion of pointwise convergence is relatively straightforward, but the notion of uniform convergence is more subtle. Uniform convergence is explained in terms of closed function balls and the new notion of sets absorbing sequences. The differences between the two types of convergence are illustrated with several examples. Some standard facts are also discussed: a uniform
NASA KSNN What do animals need to live?
There are many different habitats on the Earth. These vary in the landforms, sources of water, and climate conditions. Plants and animals are specially adapted to live in their habitats. Animals suited to live in the desert (very dry, either hot or cold) would have a difficult time living in the tropical rain forest (warm and very wet). Grades K-2
Spain hopes for festive lottery luck
As the OECD warns the Spainish government that that it might need to raise taxes further if 2011 growth is weak, Spaniards hope for luck in El Gordo, the Christmas lottery.
Virtual yeast cell
This rich learning object is used to introduce yeast cytology to students taking Module D24BS3 Brewery Yeast Management as part of the MSc in Brewing Science. The virtual cell permits the students to understand structure and function of yeast organelles.
Photographs of Lewis Hine: Documentation of Child Labor
This lesson encourages students to analyze dozens of photographs taken in the early 1900s depicting working conditions for child laborers. This lesson correlates to the National History Standards and the National Standards for Civics and Social Sciences. It has cross-curricular connections with history, government, language arts, and business law.
Understanding dyslexia
Dyslexia is a condition affecting literacy skills. This unit analyses how our image of normality affects the way we as a society define such conditions. You will learn how important it is to integrate the different psychological accounts of dyslexia in order to provide a full explanation of potential causes and strategies for remediation.
Tackling Diabetes and Obesity in the UK's South Asian Communities
Recent research has highlighted the problems of growing rates of diabetes and obesity in the UK's South Asian communities. A number of factors, including diet, lifestyle and genetics, means that there is increased exposure to these conditions and the associated risk of heart disease, strokes and other problems.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have been working closely with South Asian communities in Leamington Spa and Coventry to develop strategies for tackling the obesity time bomb.
